# Niagara

"Niagara" by Tridium is a framework that connects intelligent building technology systems. It is possible to implement data from a Niagara system in Eliona and use it in your Eliona [project ](broken://pages/adc9573fe0588f712f4b26a3d6de4574ad4e6cab)to use. 

{% hint style="info" %}
To integrate Niagara data into Eliona, the [Eliona driver](https://shop.itec-products.ch/de/tridium/n4-supervisor/treiber/niagara-eliona-treiber) must be installed on your Niagara system. 
{% endhint %}

Niagara provides hardware such as "Controller" and "Listener". The devices can be connected with Eliona. In [settings](broken://pages/d301833565e42503bda0f2f2e642da19cbd3f06f)>[Apps](broken://pages/558d91893b4b427fad73bac06d9e683ee2601d2a)>Niagara you can integrate the "Controller" and "Listener" of your Niagara system:

1. First create an [Eliona asset](broken://pages/1d38303448cff2ac1e61bf4545a0caf6bcaa05be) for the corresponding Niagara listener. Then select this [asset ](broken://pages/1d38303448cff2ac1e61bf4545a0caf6bcaa05be).&#x20;
2. Enter the certificate, private key, CA certificate, and the listener's port.&#x20;
3. Add a description.&#x20;
4. Finish with <img src="/files/fef577979729517f8243e398256b664b2f6b7317" alt="" data-size="line"> to activate the listener.

### **Add controller**

1. First create an [Eliona asset](broken://pages/1d38303448cff2ac1e61bf4545a0caf6bcaa05be) for the corresponding Niagara controller. Then select this [asset ](broken://pages/1d38303448cff2ac1e61bf4545a0caf6bcaa05be)The [asset ](broken://pages/1d38303448cff2ac1e61bf4545a0caf6bcaa05be)must absolutely be from the [Asset type](broken://pages/3dd028a7d87963a8f473e4175821e3a0abf6be53) "system".&#x20;
2. Click on <img src="/files/9211da2a20c6fb78184e60a4f6d7b27645e8bd47" alt="" data-size="line">, to create a token that identifies the controller. The token must then be entered in Niagara.
3. Enable alarm: Select whether you want to allow alarm routing to Niagara.&#x20;
4. Description: Describe the Niagara controller with any text.
5. Click <img src="/files/524115e349c099ba7705fb1e2977c389947b4468" alt="" data-size="line">, to add the controller.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.buildings.ability.abb/collection/english-v14/apps/apps/niagara.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
